Well, as I've got a dual boot on my computer I tested both suggestions (different account on ubuntu and windows OS). It didn't work form the other account, it worked fine on windows. Clearly this is an issue with my ubuntu system but figure out what's going on...... Thanks for your help!

So do you believe that by installing this specific java version it'll fix the bug? As mentioned eralier in this thread it's supposed to be a java bug that it would have been fixed with the latest 11 version but apparently this didn't happen yet.

Sure, here it is!

well, inside ~/.freemind/ I can see 4 foldres: "2", "4", "common" and "current". Inside "2" there's a log of an older installation of freemind (april 2019- then I upgraded my system and probably the backup saved those older files). Inside "4" and "common" I find several log files as of today. I attach the " log.0". Thanks!

Not sure if these are the log files you requested. Is that it? Thanks

I still experience the same problem today (March 2020) can't link images or local files to nodes. Version of the program 1.1.0 beta2 on Linux Ubuntu 18.04 and I run the latest java version [JDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.6+10-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu118.04.1]. I also swicthed to java 8 to see if that works but still this did not solve the problem. Is there any workaround as of today to get this excellent program to work properly?
